1. Mobile Add-On’s - Breathalyzer and Posture Coach: 2015 will see many peripherals and add-on’s that will work with a smartphone. Apps are extending their reach, data collection, coaching and engagement - through Bluetooth connection with small devices. Here are two that we have been experimenting with at The MASIE Center LAB:
* Breeze - Breathalyzer: A small handheld bubble that a person blows into for 5 seconds that provides a sharp estimate of their Blood Alcohol level to advise them about risks of driving. It costs around $99 and will synch up with a smartphone, displaying results and even offering a link to taxi or Uber service. Details at: http://store.breathometer.com/products/breeze
* Lumo Lift - Posture Coach: A small sensor that I can wear on my shift/jacket that senses physical posture. It provides a physical monitoring of posture and provides both tracking to my iPhone as well as vibration to coach me when I’m slouching. Details at: http://www.lumobodytech.com/
Both of these are health or behavioral in nature and provide infographic feedback and advice. As Apple releases its Watch and other wearables surface, we will see more technology that is peripheral to our smartphones. We are intrigued about the coaching and data feedback adaptions for Learning & Development. Stay tuned.
2. Learning Innovations New Year’s Retreat - January 7-9: As I was planning my schedule for early 2015, the idea popped up to host a “Retreat” around Learning Innovations and Technology for a small group of people here at our 10,000 square foot Learning LAB in Saratoga Springs, NY. Imagine 2 1/2 days of experimenting with, exploring, adapting, testing and learning about new learning technologies, including:
- Learning Personalization.
- Mobile Learning Models – Mobility & Performance.
- Video: Fast, Targeted, User-Created, Open, Digital Studios.
- Wearables: From Glasses to Bands to Watches.
- Performance Support Technologies.
- Learning Systems Refreshed.
- ReDesigning Webinars.
- MOOCs: Massive and Open Content Models.
- Collaborative & Social Learning Technology.
- Curation: Harvesting & Sorting Content.
- Drones, 3D Printing and the “Maker Model”.
- Hackathon for Learning Technologies.
- Badges and Micro-Credentials.
- The Connected Classroom – ReModeled.
- Switching Authoring Systems & Approaches.
- Engagement for Learners.
- Learning Tools, Apps & Resources.
- Technology for Feedback, Assessment & Performance.
And More.
Let’s spend a very intense time together in the MASIE Learning LAB at the start of 2015 and collaboratively explore the future of Learning Innovations & Technologies. Space is quite limited. Information and registration at: http://www.masie.com/retreat2015
